Anyone know what sort of pump I should put onto this Phosban reactor:

Some say the MJ1200 but I am not sure. Any input is much appreciated.
 
how much head and what size? i have a 150 thats going directly to my sump with only about 1 foot of 1/2" hose and its connected to a rio 1400 and I BARELY get enough flow (i dont even have the valve in place since it would just restrict flow even more). i also got one for a buddy of mine and we finally got him running today. his reactor is under his tank and has about 5' of head. i rio 1200 wasnt even close, so today we hooked it up to a mag9 externally. it works well with the mag 9 and about 5' of head (all 1/2" tubing). get a bigger pump than you think you'll need and just dial it down with the valve IF needed.
